This is the sixth of a series of short videos on Low dose Medicine and in particular Cytokines. This video introduces the cytokine Interleukin 4.
IL 4 is the main cytokine to induce differentiation of naive T helper cells into T helper 2 (Th2) cells which, upon activation, subsequently produce additional IL-4.
IL 4 is important in generating protective immunity against all parasitic infections. It stimulates the proliferation of B lymphocytes and mast cells and induces a B-cell class switching to IgE antibodies.
IL-4 directs bone marrow progenitor cells to differentiate into Th2 cytokine-producing eosinophils. It is antagonist to the production of Th1 cells, macrophages, IFN-gamma, and IL-12. It also inhibits cell activation of NK cells induced by IL2.
IL4 is important in the treatment of inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases since it inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokines such as IL1, IL6 and TNF- alpha by monocytes and by T-cells.
